@ L Brincat

PL policies on any subject - "No Comment" " Our secret" " Very cunning plan" " You think we are going to tell you?"

The people of Malta deserve better than L Brincat and PL

I hope that Mr. Brincat, if he is voted in will keep his promise.

One promise I don't foresee that the MLP will keep is that in relation to environmental health - and more specifically the built environment.

With certain elements in the party strongly entrenched on the property speculators' side, unfortunately, I do not see how this can be the case. This impinges on both the quality of the air and the quality of the landscape so it is an absolute priority, so let us really hope that Mr. Brincat is true to his promises.

1. 'A Labour government, Mr Brincat said, would take stock of the existing environmental situation and establish some sort of regular monitoring and review system to draw up benchmarks.'...this is rather vaguely put showing lack of research thoughout all the years in opposition as well as proper concrete policy and strategy for the future ...quote the phrase '........SOME SORT OF..........'

2.'The PL, he said, had never shirked from taking difficult decisions in terms of the environment and it would continue to do so in the future.' like paying for flushing one's toilet or paying door to door those which have a drainage system like was done in the '96 .'98 era of Dr. SANT when you were Finance minister and tripled car road licenses ? come on Mr. Brincat ...is this BACK to the Future??

MLP believes in DIRECT TAXATION and With MLP in power Direct Taxation will flourish. AT least we know what Mr. Brincat has in mind ...continue doing what he did in the '96 '98 22 months which brought the population down on it's knees.

A labour government would do things different and more responsibly, so says Mr Leo Brincat.
@Mr Brincat
What makes so sure? How about reviewing your own party's track records in green matters when the MLP was in power and take stock on their own achievements/ abuses before making such bold and self righteous statements.
The only difficult decisions ever taken in term of the environment by any of the political parties have been how much can one sacrifice of it for the sake of the amount of won/bought votes.
Why is always people in glass houses who try to throw the largest stones. Let's be honest, the conservation of our environment is in joepardy if left in the hands of either one of the two major parties. The only hope is if the EC starts putting it's foot down in such matters for things to improve.
